Are you a gay, bisexual, or queer-identified man who is feeling overwhelmed by questions around identity, your position or direction in life, or how to form meaningful and fulfilling connections with others? Do you find yourself distracted by racing or intrusive thoughts or struggling to find the motivation to make big life decisions or changes?

As a genderqueer, bisexual, South Asian woman of color, I have the lived experience of several individualized intersections that have forged the person I am today, and the person I continue to strive to be.
If you are a queer and/or trans person of color looking to explore the ways that your intersectional identities shape your life, I may be the right fit for you! I'm interested in working with folks who want to move beyond mainstream, Western narratives of mental health and well-being, and connect with the roots and paths that have forged your unique path. How do we define our "best self", and what societal structures may have impacted that idea? How do we move towards being more comfortable and vulnerable at the expense of shattering lifelong ideas of how we are meant to live?

I identify as an Iranian-American/white, bisexual, and cisgender woman and strive to practice through a feminist and anti-oppressive lens.
I imagine you’ve been hard on yourself lately. Thoughts like, “you’re not good enough” or “you should be over this by now,” may play on repeat, unchecked. My approach is focused on self-compassion, the art of reworking internal narratives to respond to yourself in a gentler, more understanding manner. You may not feel ready or deserving to treat yourself more kindly, but I would be honored to hold that warm space for you until you are.

I have particular specialty working with individuals in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community (LGBT) and with people from various religious and cultural backgrounds.
People seek psychotherapy for a variety of reasons. Some look to improve their relationships, some want to feel calmer, while others simply want to experience their emotions more fully. I see therapy as a collaborative conversation in which I help you reach your personal goals. I take an individualized approach and try to create a safe space in which you can explore a range of topics in an effort to learn about yourself and make changes as you see helpful. No matter your goal, I will do my best to understand you and help you better understand yourself.

My focus is adults who are struggling with a sexual issue. I want to help people of all kinds; people of all genders, people of all races, people of all sexual orientations (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and asexual), people in all kinds of relationships (polyamorous, monogamous) and people with varied ability-levels. I consider myself to be honest, knowledgeable, wise and confident. Additionally, I identify as a deaf Black woman. It should be noted that I lost my hearing as an adult and I wear an implant, thus my communication skills are excellent, and I can hear quite well.

I have extensive experience working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary and intersex individuals.
You are looking for help because you have reached a dead-end. Perhaps you are having trouble with an important relationship, or with your job. Perhaps you cannot get along with yourself. Whatever the difficulty, you realize at this point that you cannot sort things out on your own, and you are hoping that psychotherapy might help. I provide individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, a more intensive form of psychotherapeutic work. My job is to help you to find a way beyond the dead-end, so that you can ultimately move on from the limitations of your current situation.

The decision to begin therapy is rarely easy, but once you begin you may be surprised by the changes that unfold. Finding a therapist who helps you feel safe, supported, and challenged is central to this process. I've been fortunate to work with a wide range of people, including those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, sexual issues, sexual and gender identity exploration, health concerns, artistic blockages, addiction, parenting, and fertility issues.

I work closely with my patients to illuminate areas in which they feel disconnected from others, and then together, we come up with ways to bridge those gaps. I have specialties in work with survivors of incest and sexual abuse, couples counseling and parenting issues, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adolescents and adults, as well as experience working with dissociation due to trauma.
